Trail della Pizzuta

The Trail della Pizzuta is a trail race held in Piana degli Albanesi, Sicily, close to Palermo. Its next running is scheduled for late October. Participants can choose between 13 km and 23 km distances, with the 23 km option attracting the most attention. The event is recognized with a UTMB Index, allowing participants to integrate it into the UTMB trail-running system. The course crosses forest, mountain, and open natural landscapes surrounding Pizzuta. It features rocky paths and significant elevation changes that define the race's challenge. While the course is described as accessible, the steep ascents indicate it is a true mountain trail, not a simple country run. The French title, “Une Pizzuta pour favori !”, highlights the race's local significance and its established place on the Italian trail running schedule.
